Study on Trans-Identified Black Men and Their Experience with Racism
Hello Community,
My name is Brandin Dear and I’m currently pursuing a Master’s Degree at Smith College School for Social Work. For my thesis I have decided to do a project focusing on the stories of African American Trans Men and Their Experience with Racism in the U.S. As a Black Trans man I am excited to pursue this topic.
I think it is crucial for our experiences to be heard in a respectful and consistent way, leading to a better understanding of our community for ourselves and for others. I’m contacting you because I hope you will want to participate in this project and lend your voice as representation of our community.
If you are an African American Trans Man 18+, living and passing full time as male in all or most aspects of your life, regardless of medical intervention and want to participate, please contact me at
bdear@email.smith.edu for more information. Please note that your identity will remain confidential.
Thanks for your time.
In peace,
Brandin
